Oppo finally swivels into Malaysia with the N1

It's an open secret that Oppo was coming over to Malaysia. After all we did managed to interview them recently and what dig up some of their plans are for Malaysia. Well they've finally made it official today launching not one but four smartphones, Find 5 Mini, the R1, Oppo Neo and the main star of the show, the Oppo N1, in the Malaysian market.

A phablet with a difference

Considering the amount of press time the N1 has gotten, we'd be pretty surprised if you didn't know anything about it. But if you do live in well somewhere, here's the run down. At 5.9-inches, the N1 is obviously a phablet and it's powered by a 1.7 GHz Snapdragon 600 quad-core processor with just 2GB of RAM. It's star feature though, is its now famous swivel camera module that packs a 13-megapixel sensor. We really won't need to say anything more about it here since we've already gotten our hands on it. So it's much better if you just read our review here. wh

So we know all about the N1 but about the other phones being launched?

Three of a kind

As we mentioned above, there are three other smartphones being pushed into Malaysia at launch and they're the Oppo Find 5 Mini, the Oppo Neo and the Oppo R1.

Find 5 Mini comes a 4.7 inch IPS screen with 960 x 540p resolution and is powered by a quad core processor running at 1.3 GHz with 1GB RAM and 4GB ROM. It also has an 8 megapixel back camera and a 2000 mAh battery. The R1 runs on almost the same specifications as the the Find 5 Mini, with one expection. It comes with a bigger 5-inch IPS screen with a higher 1280 x 720 resolution.

As for the lower end NEO, you can expect a 4.5 inch screen size with an IPS display of 854 x 480 resolutions. Don't expect any four play though as It is powered by dual-core 1.3GHz processor and comes with only 512MB of RAM. And expected of a phone of this level, it only comes with a 5-megapixel rear camera and 2 megapixel front facing camera.

All three phones also come instaleld with Android Jelly Bean 4.2.
